(Only one of twenty air-drowned hippos dropped a tooth when butchered, but that makes 2-3 ivory anyway.)

Beware skeletal and zombie versions of this creature.
 
Whilst hippos themselves are the bloated, evil tempered masterminds of the demise of many a dwarf, undead versions of this creature truly prove that armok likes dwarf blood just as much as that of any other species.

Wikipedia article

This article is about an older version of DF.
A huge, round, hairless river creature. It is a plant-eating animal but has long tusks and can be aggressive and deadly if disturbed.

Hippos are peaceful, friendly Template:L Template:L that may appear on a map in groups of three to seven. When riled, however, they can be incredibly deadly due to their large size and tendency to knock or herd dwarves into rivers.

Since they can become very tall and heavy (~ 1.5 tons), they are a great Template:L source when Template:Led. They may also be a great source of occupied Template:Ls.

Hippos have a respectable pet value of 400 and make lovely hard-to-kill pets, but may not be tamed without the assistance of a Template:L.
